A belt buckle is a belt buckle: Or is it??
While on a casual trip to my favorite Thrift shop I decided to look in the jewelry display case. As I surveyed the vintage items I spotted a large silver and jade item. I wasn't sure what it was so I asked the sales person to show me the item. It was a lovely belt bucket with 2 jade Cranes on it. I thought I would never wear this as a belt but I might wear it as a pin to decorate the beautiful $5.00 jacket I bought last week. Enough talk. Take a look.
This is what I saw in the case. How beautiful.!! A Belt Buckle???
I flipped it over and decided I liked the price; $2.00, I also noticed it was made by famous Charmant Belts of Beverly Hills CA. WOW!!
I researched my great find of the day and found it actually sold for $99;00 at one point in time.
I really would have not worn this as a belt so I looked in my junk drawer and found a old pin clasp. I glued the pin clasp on the back of the Belt Buckle and it is now a beautiful conversation piece on any jacket. Magic. Junk into Funk.
